The Coolest Explorer Around!

Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, outdoor survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a love and deep connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with nature became stronger.

Forrest Galante has caught anacondas, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, with a focus on animals on the edge of extinction. His approach to wildlife, passion for nature and extraordinary background eventually led to the development of his own Animal Planet television program, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show follows Forrest on expedition as he searchers the globe looking for wildlife believed to be extinct.
